Crossing Guard Appreciation Week

We are pleased to announce SOMa Crossing Guard Appreciation Week from February 21 - 24. During this week, we encourage the community to thank your local crossing guards with a token of appreciation such as a card, a sign, a hot drink, a treat, or just by saying thanks! In addition, South Orange's newest committee "Walk Bike Ride South Orange" is partnering with JESPY House and the South Orange and Maplewood Police Departments to provide gift cards to the guards. Our crossing guards are out there in good weather and bad helping to make our streets safer -- please join us in recognizing and encouraging them this winter!
